CCHS senior Kristin Chapman placed 2nd Monday afternoon in the Section 1-AAA Pentathlon at the Hardin Valley Academy. The top two finishers advance to the state meet next month at Murfreesboro. Chapman’s total score was 2,902 points.

Seniors took center stage Monday afternoon for the Campbell County High School softball team.

The Lady Cougars celebrated Senior Day with a 9-7 victory over the Knoxville Ambassadors in game one of a varsity doubleheader.

First baseman Mary Hickman, one of three CCHS seniors honored during a ceremony between games, put Campbell County on the scoreboard with a 3-run double to left field in the first inning. That gave the Lady Cougars an early 3-0 advantage.

Corey Bray, captain of the Campbell County High School boys’ golf team, announced Monday that he will attend Carson-Newman College this fall.

Bray is the quintessential student athlete.

In the classroom, he has a 4.1 grade point average, 29 on the ACT and is tied for 5th in his senior class. On the golf course, Bray had a stroke average of 38 while leading the Cougars to a share of 2nd place at the 2011 District 3-AAA Tournament.

“He has been a huge asset the past two years,” Campbell County coach Jeremy Cox said.

Despite his freshman status, Matt Chambers is playing more like a veteran for a rapidly improving Walters State Community College men’s golf team.

Chambers, a mass communications major from Jacksboro, qualified for all five of the Senators’ matches. That includes the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II Tournament scheduled later next month at Plymouth, Ind.

During Walter State’s victory last week in the Aramark Collegiate Invitational at Etowah Valley, NC, Chambers posted his best individual finish of the season.
